What I'm looking for

I seek product roles where I can build AI/SaaS solutions, lead cross-functional teams, drive measurable business impact, and scale processes.

I am a product manager with experience launching AI and SaaS features, leading end-to-end product development, and improving operational efficiency across BFSI, recruitment SaaS, and large engineering firms. I have delivered measurable outcomes — from a 30% productivity boost for a client transaction portal and 30% SEO improvement for a job board to reducing TATs and increasing data accuracy through automation and KYC integrations.

I combine hands-on product work (PRDs, Figma designs, user research), GTM and partnership execution, and cross-functional delivery with strong project and stakeholder management. I am results-focused, comfortable in agile environments, and experienced in driving product strategy, analytics, and business process improvements to achieve measurable business impact.
